Hi everybody,
I will release very soon a new effect called "Falling Mystery". Here is the description: One card is mentally selected by a spectator, and never told to the magician. A deck of cards is shuffled by the spectator. Then, the magician or the spectator lets the deck fall on the table and this one magically splits into two parts. The spectator takes the card where the cut has been naturally and randomly made, and… guess what? This is his mentally selected card! I am making the final adjustments to the manuscript with some other magicians. This will a be released as an ebook. Stay tuned

Hi guys!
My manuscript is almost finished, so I'd like to take 2 of you to correct it and make a review of the effect. The first two members of the Café who send me a PM will receive their free copy for review. Best! Dorian

I was one of the people who reviewed the manuscript and I do not know Dorian personally or have any afflitiations with him.
The effect is already described in the opening post. It is impromptu. It is straightforward. You simply drop the deck and and it splits in half at a thought-of-card. And the cards are shuffled before the dropping happens. It is very easy but will take some practice to get used to it. The method is not new but I have not seen it used before this way, personally speaking. But do not worry, there are credits in the manuscript. You can slap on any type of presentation and one can surely use this as part of a longer routine. I am considering using this as an introductory piece to a haunted pack effect. Think of it as 'fast and slow versions' of the haunted deck (I was so close to not writing this here because the more I think about it, the more I am liking this angle a lot). Other ideas include combining it with Pit Hartling's Finger Flicker from Card Fictions in a sort of "skill vs luck" showdown of cutting to a selected card. Easy, impromptu, well explained with pictures, and open to a multitude of effects and routines. Thanks Dorian for sharing |

I was also one of the people who got to review this for Dorian.
What he has done is very cleverly combined an old method into a fresh plot. It is something that you can do impromptu and anytime within a set of tricks and will be sure to blow people away. The angles and outs have been provided and you can tell that a lot of thought went into making this up. One caveat that I have is that he does not describe how to know what card the spectator is thinking. He says you can use your favorite method which is perfectly fine for mentalists but for beginners this may be a challenge. Once mastered there are many ways you can use this trick for any kind of presentation. It does look similar to a haunted pack but when done as Dorian suggests it looks more like an inevitable occurrence. Falling Mystery gets a 8 out of 10 from me and it is worthy to add to anyone's arsenal of creative and impromptu mentalism with cards. Thanks Dorian

Hey I think I can be of some assistance since it was my review that caused confusion. The effect does not really hinge on you "knowing" what the card is. There are many ways to accomplish this and Dorian lists a few in the manuscript I got. He just did not go into detail on any one method because he thought you might prefer to obtain this information a different way. The absolute beginner could use a card F**** and still achieve the turning /flipping over the card as it falls and that would be amazing in itself. For people a little more in the know you can read the spectators mind using any method you like. If Dorian has decided to include one of his methods after reading my review, than this trick goes a notch above what I previously mentioned. If he didn't it is still a good trick and the mind reading part can be accomplished using methods most of you would already know and if not would only take a small amount of research to learn. Regardless I still stand behind my review and say that most can and will add this to their metal arsenal.

Thanks for that comment Gordon. And again, I am glad you liked it
It is true that this effect is more for people having some "basic knowledge" in mentalism. But be reassured, I talk about different methods in the ebook (and mostly the one I use myself when I perform the effect), concerning the first part of the trick (thought of card). But this is NOT the main part of the ebook. The most important part concerns the "falling mystery" in itself ------------------------------------------------------------ Paypal 7$ to dorian_caudal@yahoo.fr if you are interested! ------------------------------------------------------------
